If you put a duck-bill on it, you could put air to the top fitting and blow it down remotely with a shot of air after a fording:) My bell housing vent actually has a vent line attached, it was zip tied up into the mid structure I removed. It does not make sense though that they would remote...

Yes, you plug it so the bell housig with spinning TC, flywheel and ring gear doesnt fill with water. It having such a large seal and the starter bolted up, the odds that it will leak when submerged are high, so they added a convient drain and storage point for it. Therenis a vent point at the...

Any water in the transmission is a death senten Thats actually supposed to be a drain for the bell housing. It has a vent port up on the top. Even full of water it cannot pass from there to transmission or engine. If it could oil would come the other way, and when you find oil here it is...

Yea thats the rub with salt water. You can spin it out in a centrifuge/purifier, did this daily on the last ship I was on. The normal way for us common folk is to let it settle and separate as much that way as possible, which is basically what a centrifuge does only faster(a little heat helps...

Yea I usually find another use for contaminated fuel. But I am rural have burn piles and heat my shop with a waste oil burner:)

Lean in over the passenger front tire. Right behind the shock, above the frame, 3 switches with red guards.

Yep get the water out of the trans. It will kill the clutch packs... NDT has a good thought, check the remote start sw in the passenger wheel well. If it is shorted it will crank as soon as you hit the ign sw... your thinking is right if it were a short in start relay, aux start or start...

I think that test was with ign switch on, so it was loaded... The extension of this test is to pull full system design load thru the circuit. In a properly wired world you should see no more than 3% drop in voltage + the diode volt drop imposed by the polarity box/LBCD...

This test needs to be done with load applied. Resistance resists current flow, not voltage, so without current flow you can still see full voltage throughout the circuit. Like a garden hose with kinks in it, you will have full pressure at the nozzle at the end of the hose, until you open the...

LBCD stands for Load & Battery Control Device. Adding the LBCD was not when they were complete Doofuses. That came much earlier when they paired a 240AH battery bank with a 100A total current dual volt alternator. That was the root problem, the LBCD was their bandaid to keep the inevitable...

The polarity box itself is just diodes potted to a heat-sync. They are pretty resilient and waterproof. They are after all mounted out in the weather. Their weak link appears to be their connection lugs. They get dirty and corroded. Now how the LBCD circuitry would fare is another story. The...

Yep, goes from battery by cable to the manual disconnect. From there it has jumper straps to the disconnect relays, then cables from the relays to the LBCD. You should be able to disconnect the cables coming out of the disconnect relay(closest to frame) and pull them out a bit to connect to...
